N.D. Cent. Code § 30.1-19-02
30.1-19-02. (3-802) Statutes of limitations
30.1-19-02. (3-802) Statutes of limitations
Unless an estate is insolvent, the personal representative, with the consent of all
successors whose interests would be affected, may waive any defense of limitations available to
the estate. If the defense is not waived, no claim that was barred by any statute of limitations at
the time of the decedent's death may be allowed or paid. The running of any statute of
limitations measured from some other event than death and advertisement and mailing of notice
for claims against a decedent is suspended during the three months following the decedent's
death but resumes thereafter as to claims not barred pursuant to the sections which follow. For
purposes of any statute of limitations, the proper presentation of a claim under section
30.1-19-04 is equivalent to commencement of a proceeding on the claim.
